<P>Im so disgusted with this site I could scream. 90 days free support.......'WHERE"&nbsp;</P>
<P>Try to post a questioin to community and it would not post because it did not have a LABEL.</P>
<P>Label.........what is a label. This is the most user unfriendly site I have ever used.NO instructions in the box .Can I get some info on set up? I only want to use hardwired so how hard can that be. Typical company cop out,no phone,no human,go ask our unpaid volunteers to do our work in the community if you can find a label so you have permission to post. This is beyond ridiculous.And on top of that my router model number does not match any in the drop down menu.Can someone give me some suggestions please?</P>

<P>Seriously? I strongly doubt. Any form of Set-up or Quick Start Guide including the basic set-up process and assistance for the product registration (for warranty and support purposes) is always in place. If missing, head to&nbsp;<A href="https://www.netgear.com/support/" target="_blank">https://www.netgear.com/support/</A> and enter your model number or name - and you will be guided to the product for Downloads, Documentation, Guided Assistance, here for example for the R9000. The Documentation section is your friend to start with - there you will find docs like Quick Start, Installation, User Manual.</P>

<P>Available products are (not always fully complete or up2date why ever) available in the relevant forum section only.

<P>Your question has nothing to do with the subject of this discussion. If you want people to help, especially the Netgear team, you would do much better e to start a question of your own.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>You would also get better advice if you posted in the appropriate section, the one for the R8000 router might be best.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Your device is a <I>Nighthawk WiFi Router.<BR /></I><BR /><A href="https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/bd-p/home-wifi-routers-nighthawk" target="_blank">Nighthawk WiFi Routers</A><BR /> <BR />You&nbsp;could also expand on what this &nbsp;SB8200 modem is.

<P>I was having trouble connecting my range extender (model 2700) which is not listed here. When I called support I was told I couldn't connect because I had lots of malware on my PC. They offered to clean it up for $$ and offered a firewall package for a $$ monthly fee. This is after the tech was logged in to my PC (with my permission). I felt like it was a shake down with dogs barking and traffic in the background. It cost me around $80 to be able to use my $25 wifi extender.&nbsp; I paid by scanning a check to the tech.

<P>This sounds like you got caught by one of those scam sites that come up when you search for "Netgear support". They have nothing to do with Netgear. They are dangerous rip off merchants that buy ad links.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Netgear itself does not provide paid for support. It farms that out to GearHead Technical Support.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P><A href="http://gearhead.netgear.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">GearHead Support</A></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I doubt if they were the people you talked to. They wouldn't want checks and the Firewall package sounds like a ripoff.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>You should be very careful now. Who knows what they did to your PC.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>In future, you would do better to start here.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>By the way 2700 isn't a Netgear model number, or even a wifi speed indicator. You can find the model number on the label on the device.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
